Description
Overview:
The Brake Spring (MPN 038213010) is a genuine Makita component for the chain brake mechanism on selected Makita petrol chainsaws, including the DCS6401-45 and DCS7300-45. This torsion-type spring is made from high‐tensile spring steel to provide the correct return force and reliable engagement of the chain brake. It replaces worn, weakened, or broken springs that can affect stopping performance, helping to maintain safe operation when the brake is applied. Built to OEM specification for fit and function, it sits within the clutch cover/hand guard assembly and works with the brake band to stop the chain quickly under load. Suitable for workshop repairs and routine maintenance, it supports both professional users and DIY owners who need dependable braking performance from their saws.
